Tube hydroforming is a process which is considered to produce integrated and seamless parts in recent years. The numerical prediction of tearing to design the right equipment in this process is important. In this study, the formability of 304 stainless steel tube by free bulge test was experimentally and numerically evaluated to determine the forming limit diagram. The Gurson- Tvergaard- Needleman (GTN) is a micromechanical model to predict ductile fracture of metals. In order to determine the defining parameters of the GTN damage model, the experimental tensile test of the standard sample and the finite element simulation using ABAQUS software was performed. Using this criterion in the ABAQUS software and comparing the force-displacement diagram obtained from the experimental tensile test and the finite element simulation, the parameters of the GTN model was obtained by the inverse method. Then, the geometrical parameters of the die in the free bulge hydroforming process were investigated by the GTN ductile fracture criterion and the forming limit diagram of the 304 stainless steel tube was numerically obtained. The experimental tests were also carried out to verify the results of the finite element simulation. It’s shown an acceptable agreement
